Chapter 29 Arriving at the Western Chu Kingdom
"Second brother, I think this girl likes whistles very much, why don't we sell them to her." Gui Longqin winked at Mo Ran.
"Okay, okay, since my sister has spoken, let's give it to you, but fifty taels of silver, not a penny less."
The woman in black smiled, and with a wave of her hand, the guards beside her handed over an ingot of gold to the ink dye.
"The girl is so generous, remember to look for me next time you have this good thing..."
This guy actually took a bite of the gold, and only after making sure that it was correct did he transfer the gold to Gui Longqin, which was really a full set of acts.
When they came out of the cell, it was already noon, and the sun was at its most poisonous, so the three of them found a relatively remote inn in the city and stayed.
"Fourth sister, are you sure our method will work? Will it show any horses' feet? ”
"No, I smelled something unusual about her in prison that day, and that kind of spice can only be used by rich and noble people, so I concluded that he was not an ordinary person."
"Does the fourth sister believe that the owner of the whistle is the prince of the Western Chu Kingdom?"
Xue Duyuan looked at Gui Longqin, but he didn't notice that the teacup in his hand had already been filled with water, and the water droplets were dripping and scattering to the ground.
"Big brother, what's wrong with you, are you tired, why don't you rest first."
Gui Longqin took the opportunity to divert the topic and did not answer directly.
"Okay, okay, you girl don't mix in our men's pile all day, go, I'll take you to the street to have a look."
Mo Ran took Gui Longqin's hand and trotted all the way to the street.
"Second brother isn't curious?"
"Curious, you see the people coming and going on this street, and I don't know if things are expensive or not."
Mo Ran smiled and flipped the money bag in his hand. When I turned around, I saw a pair of eyes as cold as ice.
"Fourth sister, don't think about some things so much, as long as you're happy, I really don't care what the answer is, go, the second brother will buy you sugar gourds to eat."
Before Gui Longqin could figure it out, he was dragged into the lively crowd by the ink dye.
When I was in Nanzhao, because I was the princess, I didn't have the opportunity to go out on weekdays.
I have long heard the prince say that the capital of the Western Chu Kingdom is very prosperous, and now it seems that he is really not lying.
"Fourth sister, this headdress is so beautiful, is it worthy to wear it on the head of your first beauty?"
"Eh, Childe, although this girl is good-looking, the number one beauty in the world can only be the princess of our Western Chu Kingdom."
"Uncle can't help it, we are businessmen from other places, and we have never seen the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom, I don't know where we can be lucky enough to meet the princess."
Gui Longqin suddenly understood Mo Ran's motive for buying the headdress, good guy is quietly inquiring about the news.
It's a pity that it seems that even the local people haven't seen the princess for a long time.
"Since the princess married to Nanzhao, we haven't seen each other, but..."
The old man suddenly looked around, lowered his voice and said, "I heard that she was abandoned by the prince of the realm, and it was our prince who rescued her. ”
Mo Ran followed the old man's example, lowered his voice and asked, "Does the old man know where she is now?" ”
As for this question, the old man pretended not to know anyway.
In desperation, the two had to change booths and continue to inquire, which made people feel suspicious that the people here seemed to be very taboo about discussing the prince's affairs.
must be a mediocre and incompetent child, and the son depends on his mother.
After shopping for a long time, they finally felt a little tired, so the two of them found a tea stall along the street and sat down.
"What kind of tea do you two guests have?"
"Is there any Mansong tea?"
The tea that Gui Longqin drinks on weekdays is a tribute from the emperor, but he didn't expect it to be said so casually, but it scared the guy.
"Not really."
"That's okay with Biluochun."
"Not even more so."
"Where's Junshan's hairy tip?"
The guy looked at Gui Longqin with no good face, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and begged for mercy, "Girl, the names you said are all tribute tea from the imperial court, where is that kind of thing in my stall." ”
"Tribute tea? It should be able to buy it, it's clear that the house has never been broken. ”
Gui Longqin muttered quietly, not noticing that the man's face had already turned blue at this moment.
"Girl, the things that are paid tribute to the palace are all sent directly to the palace by the post station, where can we still get in touch with the people, do you think anyone can send them to the door like the prince's mansion?"
"The Prince's Mansion? Do you know where? ”
"Just two streets in front of the palace under a big willow tree, in front of the door is the most crowded."
"Man, let's have some Jasmine."
The man took the silver from the ink dye's hand, and at the end he didn't forget to whisper a sentence, "What kind of uncle are poor people?" ”
"Second brother, why are you interrupting us?"
"Haven't you forgotten the last time we were locked up? We don't know the people here, so don't expose our identities. ”
After drinking tea, the two did not go directly to the prince's mansion, but went straight back to the inn.
As soon as I arrived at the door buckle, I heard Xue Duyuan talking to someone about something, could it be that he was a guest?
Full of suspicion, he pushed open the door, but was surprised to find that it was Xiaobao who had not seen him for a long time talking to his eldest brother.
"Xiaobao? Why are you here, it's okay not to see you for a long time? ”
Gui Longqin subconsciously touched Lin Chengyu's face, but fortunately there was no scar.
"I'm fine, I happened to come here to visit a relative recently, but I didn't expect to meet my senior brother."
"Such a coincidence? Do you have relatives here? Are you familiar with this place? Do you know where the Prince's Mansion is? ”
"Poof" a sip of tea choked into the trachea, Lin Chengyu looked at Gui Longqin helplessly.
"I know this, my relatives often deliver goods to the princesses here, so I've been there a few times."
"Really? That's great, why don't you take me there tomorrow? ”
"Why are you looking for the prince?"
"Yes, I won't tell you, we came here this time to find the prince of the realm, I thought that the princess of the Western Chu Kingdom once married him, will she also know something?"
"I also heard that the princess was given death many years ago, how could she know the news about the prince of the realm."
Gui Longqin's originally high interest suddenly collapsed, but he didn't expect that the last bit of hope in his heart would be so shattered.
"But I can take you to the Prince's Mansion to investigate, maybe you'll find out something."
"Really? That's great. The hope in his eyes was re-ignited, and Gui Longqin was full of joy.
Before dawn the next morning, there was a knock on Gui Longqin's door.
I opened the door in a daze and found Xiaobao looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Why did you get up before dawn?"
"Of course, I'm taking you to the Prince's Mansion, and I'll miss the delivery time after a while."
"You wait for me" Before Xiaobao could finish speaking, the door was closed again, and when it was opened again, Gui Longqin had already changed into a light men's clothes.
"Look at what? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful man? ”
Xiaobao's face was slightly red, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Who the hell did you learn so many tricks from you, it's not good at all."
